Friday evening, and were a most grat
ifying success. The hall was filled to
capacity, the entire plan being sold out
three day* before the date of the en

added which were readily disposed of
and a large number were unable to
gain admittance.

of rare excellence and quality, consist

Important Business Deal
Mr. J. E. Stedlebaur, proprietor of
the Ford Garage, has purchased the
Mabee Garage on Oxford street, the
transfer taking place on Tuesday
morning. This deal on the part of
Mr. Stedelbauer was inspired by his
abounding faith in the future of Till
sonburg. coupled with the fact that he
has contracted for two hundred and
forty-eight Ford cars for the season
of 1929. He realized that his Broad
way garage would be inadequate to
handle that amount of business, hence
the necessity of securing greater facili
ties to meet the increased demand.
The Oxford street garage will be de
vot d entirely to Imperial gasoline,
while the Super-Test will be handled
at the Broadway garage as heretofore,
both leaders in their lines. Both work
shops will be manned by careful and
capable mechanics, and already addi
tional help has been taken on to prop
erly look after the increasing business.
Prompt and efficient service is Mr.
Stcddbaucr's slogan, and his personal
attention is given to all orders.

For some time we have been consid

business, whereby we will cut out slow
paying customers. For many year*
they have been a drag on our busmess.
Doing a credit business we have been
compelled to add profit enough to
cover bad debt* and slow paying ac
counts. This extra cost on goods has
been paid by our cash and 30-day cus
tomers, which is nnfair to them.
Under the new plan, which we will
put into effect on the First of January.
1929, our customers will reap the bene
fit. No new accounts will be opened
Customers running monthly accounts must pay monthly, no balance left.
All old account* will be considered due
the 30th of December. 1928. Any re
maining unpaid at that date will be
closed until settled. All past due ac
count* must be settled in some way by
January 31*t. 1929. There will be no
favoritism shown; all customers will
be treated alike and pay the same
price.
By selling on these terms wc will be
able to take advantage of any dis
counts offered by the wholesale firms,
cut down the interest wc have to pay.

The King's Condition Serious
London. Dec. 5.—The condition of
King George tonight was not very re
assuring. His physician*, in the usual
evening bulletin. »aid that his temper
ature had risen in the last 24 hours, in
dicating increased activity of the lung
infection. The uneven nature of the
fight which his majesty is waging
against the disease was shown by the two official reports issued today. Two
factors, however, stand out as import
ant. The King has been able to get
good periods of sleep and it was an
nounced in an otherwise less favorable
bulletin this evening that his "strength
is maintained."On the other hand his temperature
has risen to a point higher than yester
day's. which was 1002 indicating, as
the bulletin phrased it, that "the re
crudescence of the infection is still ac
tive."

A Record Day's Hunt
What will probably stand for some
time as a record day's bag for a hunt;
er and fisherman in Canada was
secured by Harry S. Sawyers, Phila
delphia big game hunter in the Lake
Edward district of Quebec. According
to a report reaching C K. Howard,
Manager of the Tourist and Conven
tion bureau of the Canadian National
Railways from G. K. Rowley, who
outfitted Mr. Sauers, this gentleman
left camp eight o'clock in the morning
for a day’s hunting and fishing. On his
way up the Rat River he cast a fly
into one of the pools and landed a
6M pound speckled trout; about ten
o’clock on the same morning he shot
one of the largest black bears which
had ever been taken in the territory,
and continuing his hunt, at about 4
o'clock in the afternoon he brought
down a fine bull moose with a 56 inch
spread of antlers. Mr. Sauers was
accompanied by his wife, who also
secured a fine bear during her visit to
lhe territory. The bag secured by Mr.
Sauer is-considered to be a record for
one day’s hunting and fishing which I
will stand for some time.

He got no further. A scream, so
wild and piercing that those who heard
it shuddered for long after at its mem
ory. broke upon his ears, and seemed
to turn his very blood to ice within his
veins. ,At the same instant Amy scired his
arm. and pointed directly toward the
mirror.“Look!" she cried. "Look there 1"
He did look, and a groan of mortal
fear burst from his quivering lips. A
figure faced bim in the mirrors’ depths,
the figure of a woman, white-faced,
wild-eyed, a slight, girlish figure, clad
in blue, and with flowing golden hair,
Helen 1 his murdered wife!
He retreated, with a cry of agony
Even thus had she looked upon that
cursed night, thus white, thus wild, thus accusing; had she. then risen
from the ocean's depths to tax him
with his villain and to claim him?
He never thought of Helen in the
flesh. Had he not seen her die? Had
not his own hands sent her to her
awful doom? It was Helen's spint
that made his guilty conscience quail,
the white, accusing angel with which
flesh and blood could never cope. He
shrank before the vision. It chilled
his blood, amazed his brain, stunned
every sense with horror. His courage
failed him. his senses fled astray, he
shrank form her as she came hurrying
toward him. "Helen I" he gasped. Oh. God I My wife I Keep off I Keen off—
And. as she came nearer with blue
eyes fierce and wild, her arras out
stretched to clasp him, suddenly hor
ror overcame him wholly, he reeled
and fell heavily to the floor, his temple
striking the table, before which he
had been standing, in the faff. Covered
with blood, gasping, seemingly dying,
he fell at Helen's feet.
In the same instant she was on her
knees beside him. and had lifted lus
wounded head upon her breast. She
gazed from him to the faces all around
her, with pitiful, beseeching eyes.
-Help him I" she cried. "Oh. Bertie,
help him; it is James, my husband I
CHAPTER LXV
Conclusion
There was a wedding after all, how
ever; for. where was Florae all this
time, if not in Bertie's arms? It needed
for these true hearts little time and but
few words to understand each other,
when the wounded man had been car
ried to a room, and his wife and Dr.
Searle installed beside htm. Horne
took her place beside another bride
groom. and the cerjtnony began all
over again, this time to be carried to
its conclusion. _ ,Oh, what a different Home now!
The smiles, the blushes, the sparkling
tears of joy in those soft brown
eves, the tender dimples round
the sweet, red mouth, the low. dear
tones that answered from the heart, 1 will!" Oh. what a very different Flor
ae nowlMr. Hamilton, looking at her wut-
fully. said to himself:“Ixive is best, then, it seems; love
is best. She will feel no stings of pov
erty in Bertie's arms. I have been in the wrong. Wealth is well enough,
but love is best ISo thought Jem Lowe and Polly
Greene, too. when, a week later, they

nigger women!" before her eyes, yield
ed to his pleadings and got married.
So did Ned Searle, in course of time,
though not to his first fancy. Helen.
“She is lost to you now. Amy said
to him. with demure sympathy. 1
am so sorry for you."But he smiled as he took her hand.
“I shall survive the loss, vnth your

She didn't tell him whether she knew

said, with a dimpling smile. “The man

theLINE
IN THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS this
man is called a •■trouble-shooter’, which
may sound like sport but it isn’t for him.
Any hour of the night he may be roused from
sleep. Somewhere the line is down and it is
up to him to fix it Right away.
Usually the line* is down because there has
been a storm. It isn’t much fun to ding to the
top of a pole with a zero gale taking your
breath away.
FINDING THE BREAK in the line is not
as bad as it used to be. It used to mean that
men had to trudge along through the storm,
perhaps for miles, until the bad spot was
found. Today there are delicate instruments
which can locate the spot within a few rods
from an office many miles away.
They are so accurate that if there is a break in
the 180 miles of line between Toronto and
Sarnia, a man can sit in a building in Toronto
and locate the spot within a-pole’s length or
so. Or a man can sit in a building in Montreal
and find a break anywhere between there and
Quebec.
He can tell the trouble-shooter almost the very
pole to go to because every pole now is num-
BUT THE TROUBLE-SHOOTER has to
do the actual job and it means more than
losing sleep or braving bad weather. It calls
for very high technical skill.
Big cables are simply lead containers holding
hundreds of tightly packed wires, each fine as
a hair. When the cable is burnt out for a
stretch, or is opened, there is a fine looking
mess. It looks like the stuffing of a hair mat
tress.
Each of these hundreds of fine wires has to be
connected again to its mate in the other half
of the cable. If you can imagine youself finger
ing those wires at two o’clock of a stormy
wintry morning you will realize how good the
trouble-shooter has to be at his job.
STORMS COST MONEY as well as dis
comfort. The telephone system has over
675,COO miles of wire strung on poles stretch
ing across 23,000 miles of country and evepr
storm hits some part of the system. A big
storm can do a great deal of damage. r
Sleet has cost the telephone company as much
as a million dollars tn one year. Sometimes
one storm means spending more than $100,000
without delay.
There'is no time to call the directors together.
The job has to be done and the money must
be spent
The money is ready because the telephone
company has followed a policy of making
definite provision for such emergencies.
And the job is done because the telephone
business has men and women, like the trouble
shooter, alive to the meaning of
sen-ice and eager to keep the
telephone in the front rank of
Canadian progress.

MitcheQ. met for a social evening .and
to enjoy a venison supper. This splendid
supper was made possible through the
generosity of Mr. Neil Campbell, who
brought home a deer while hunting in
the north country. A vote of thapk
which expressed the sentiments of all
those present, was tendered to Mr.
Campbell for his donation of’tbe veni
son. The school-room presented a
very pleasing appearance the tables
being attractively decorated with
many pretty colored candles, bowls of
Narcissus. Mums. and other flowers
and plants. The young ladies provid-
an abundance of delicacies quite in
keeping with a banquet. There were
about fifty in attendance, and after
all had done full justice to this very
appetizing repast, an enjoyable pro
gram was put on. It was moved by
Mr. Frank Philips, the superintend
ent of the Sunday school, and second
ed by M. R. J. Mitchall, that the pas
tor. Rev. Mr. Strachan, act as chair
man. Mr. Strachan then called upon
Mrs. Charles Martin, the secretary treasurer of the youngjadies class, for
an address. Mrs. Martin called the roll
of the class and each young lady re
sponded by testifying as to how she
had earned a dollar for Missionary
money. Much enjoyment was derived
from hearing the various experiences
of each one. Following this Mr."
Strachan proposed the following
toasts:—To the church, responded to
by Mr. R. J. Mitchell, to the Sunday
school, responded to by Mr. Frank
C. Philllips; to the voung men’s
class, responded to by Mr. McQutb*
tion; to the ladies, responded to by
Mr. Campbell and Mr. Brock Snelly
to the host, responded to by Miss Phyl
lis Pile and Miss Bertha Gilbert; our
schools responded to by Miss Hender
son and Miss Steele; to the ladies*
aid and the Women’s Missionary
society, responded to by Mrs. (Rev.)
Strachan, to the king, responded to
by all heartily singing the national
anthem. All then departed to their
different homes, having spent a very
enjoyable evening together.
A very pleasant time was spent on
Thursday evening of last week at
Dereham Centre United church when
the Young People’s League of Mt.
Elgin put on the program which was
presided over by the pastor. Rev C C
Strachan. The meeting was opened in
the usual devotional way by singing.
Behold a Stone in Zion Laid." and
prayer by Mr. Strachan. Mis* Evelyn
Freeman, presided at the piano for the
singing of the hymns and I.orne Joi-
lific read the scripture lesson. Mrs.
Kiah Clarke gave a splendid paper on
the topic “Flowers." Miss Xfary Harris
of Dereham Centre, in her usual cap
able way. gave an address of wel

Tuesday morning, November
Health Service of the Canadian Medi
cal Association.
There exist, in all parts of Canada,
laws which require that, when a com
municable disease occurs. Its occurrence
shall be promptly reported to the
health authorities. It is known that
such reporting is not by any means
complete, as is also the fact that many
law-abiding citizens evade the law in
this respect whenever possible.
The reporting of certain di»eascs is
required by law for several reasons.
In the first place, the health authori
ties who are responsible for the con
trol of communicable diseases cannot
set the control machinery to work un
til they know that disease exists. The
control does not consist merely in
placing a placard on the house and
quarantining the inmates. That is part
of the work, but a more important
phase is that of tracing back and find
ing the source of the case. If this is
done, the source is removed and other
cases prevented. If a case is not re
ported. the source is not removed and
may continue to be responsible for
more cases.
It is the reporting of an unusual
□umber of cases of typhoid fever
which first directs the attention of the
health authorities to the need for ac
tion to discover the break in the pro
tective machinery. If tbe first know
ledge they have is of the deaths which
occur, needless delay in dealing with
the cause results; many more cases
and deaths follow, because of this delay.
The control of communicable diseases
is a community problem. Its success
will be largely measured by the extent
to which all citizens co-operate in the
effort. Just as long as ease* arc hid
den br not being reported in order
to evade some personal inconvenience,
even if isolation in the home is prop
erl- carried out, the health authorities
arc being hampered in their work,
which, after all. is for the protection
of the very people who sometime*
hinder their effort*.

Experimental Farms Note)
Since tobacco seed play* such an
important part in the success or failure
of the tobacco crop, the grower should
make a special effort to produce and
have on hand a fair supply of good
pure tobacco seed of the type and vari
ety which ha* proven most satisfactory
for his particular soil
Tobacco seed heads, unless covered
with bag* during the flowering period,
will likely produce mixed varieties and
types, particularly when they are
grown near field* of other varieties.
Therefore, too much precaution can
not be taken in thi* respect in order to
maintain seed true to type.
The Harrow Experimental Station
ha* conducted comparative tests on
home grown vs. foreign grown tobacco
seed, and the results have been decid
edly in favor of the former. Canadian
grown and acclimatized seed invariably
produce* earlier plants; the tobacco
from this seed also ripens more quick
ly and uniformly than tobacco from
the unacclimatixcd southern grown
seed pod* a* soon at the pods become
sufficiently dry. after which the seed
should be put through a seed cleaning
machine and all light seed and trash
removed. A test should be made for
germination. after which the toliacco
seed should h< stored in a dry place,
in containers which will admit some

The Open Bedroom Window
Health Service of the Canadian Medi
cal Association.
One of the really striking changes in
personal habiy which hat occurred
within recent yean is the habit of
opening the bed-room window at night.
It is not so many years ago since
the windows were closed, with the
coming of cold weather. Indeed, many
persons stuffed the few cracks around
the windows to make sure that' no
air came from outside. That was the
time when a sick person was protected
from cool fresh air, as if one mouhtful
of it would cause his death.
We may forge t that tuberculosis
was the first disease which was fought
by education. Other disease had
been fought by police measures
by compulsion. People were forced
to improve living and work-places;
they were obliged to install sanitary
conveniences; if they suffered from a
communicable disease, they were iso
lated whether they wished to be or not.
The fight against tuberculosis has
not been along this line. In place
of force persuation, by means of edu
cation, was used. The educational
work has .not been limited to those
suffering from tuberculosis, but h<>
extended to all From the start, the
value of fresh air was stressed and
we were advised to open -our bed
room windows in order to benefit by
and enjoy hours of sleep in the fresh
air, thus lessening the chances of the
occurrence of tuberculosis.
It is true that fresh air, day and
night, is good. We know that the old
idea of night air being bad is not true.
At night, we miss the sunshine; that
is the only difference. Those who
sleep with bed-room windows open do
so because they like it. because, when
the windows are open, they sleep bet
ter, they feel better and they are bet
ter.
The window is, of course, opened
with consideration for the temperature
and the wind. If a fraction of an
inch on a cold, windv night allows a
slight current of cool air topass through
the room, that is sufficient. Fresh air
is one of the valuable things that may
be had simply for the effort of taking
it.
Keep the bed-room window open I

“Come ye apart . . . and rest awhile."
' -Mark 6: 31.
Oh Soul I Come ye apart awhile:
Life's cares and duties press thee
round:
They fain would claim each passing
hour ’Would keep thy thought in narrow
bound.But put them forth a little space.
To sit beneath the Master's smile.
Come, seek with Him a quiet place,
"Come ye apart—and rest awhile."
This life holds precious things for thee.
Holds claims thou may'st not turn
aside:
Thine own, who need thy thought and
care;
Sad hearts to cheer, young feet to
guide.If thou would’st give to each thy best,
To each be tender, patient, true.
Then "come apart" with Him and rest.
And at his feet thy strength renew.
This busy, ever-changing world
Has need of lives all pure within;
Of lives that shine as beacon lights.
Across its restlessness and sin.
If thou wouldst meet its tempting wiles.
With steadfast faith and dauntless
heart.
Seek oft the soul's sweet trysting place.
The quiet hour with Him “apart/
His presence shields from fears with-
qut.
And calms all restlessness within; Gives courage daily trials to meet.
Strength to take up thy cross again.
Thou may’st come forth from that re
treat.
Crowned with a light earth cannot dim;
With perfect love and holy trust;
Oh soul! "code ye apart" with Him.

It is reported that Rev. E. E..Long of
Tillsonburg came very near being lost
somewhere in the mud between Till
sonburg and the eonventiion. but fin
ally he did arrive and his address was
enjoyed by all. The subject. "On Be
ing Ourselves." was one to set the
young people thinking as he spoke of
the tendency to imitate one another;
people are too much alike and lack
originality; the young people need to
learn to think for themselves, to dis
cover and discuss their own problems
—in a word, "to become themselves."
Rev. Taylor of Old Windham, who.

Gathers round its head sublme."
PRAYER
“O God. Thy mercies come with
each new day and continue with us
when the evening shadows fall With
out Thy constant care we could not
live. The only return wc can make
to Thee is to give Thee the praise
and devotion of our hearts. Enable us
to live so that we may not spoil these
precious lives of ours, which hold such
wonderful possibilities for goo. We
would seek Thy forgiveness for the
sms and mistakes of the pest. Grant
us strength for the future as we trust
in Thy Son, our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ. Amen."
SCRIPTURE
John 12 23-36.
MEDITATION
John 12J2:“And I. if I be Ifted up
from the earth, will draw all men unto me." Without regard to the endless
controversies that have centered around the Cross of Christ, it is time
for all to realise that the only remedy
for the sins and sorrows of humanity
lies in the Cross. Jesus never had any
doubt but His being lifted up on the
Cross would bring men into loving
time;
relationship with their Heavenly
Father. It would "draw all men unto
me." and “I and my Father are one."
Jesus taught that in some way His
death upon the cross would make pos
sible the removal from the souls of
men the burden and the stain off their
sins. The way to forgiveness would
be wide open. "The Son of Man came
not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom
for many.” "For this is my blood of the
new testament which is shed for many
Bunyan's Pilgrim came in sight of the
Cross, his burden of sin loosened and
fell from his back, and he went upon
his way rejoicing. This has been the
experience of men all through the
centuries since Jesus died, without re
gard to race, or position, or creed. It
is the one fact whch gives to sin-
stricken humanity hope for time and
eternity:
"Could my tears forever flow.
Could my zeal no languor know.
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save and Thou alone;
In my hand no price I bring.
Simply to Thy cross 1 cling."
HYMN
"Arise, my soul arise. Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifce
In my behalf appears.
Before the throne my surety stands;
My name is written on His hands."

St Thomas. Nov. 29,-The time-
honored custom of "caning" the retir
ing warden of Elgin County as his
year of office drew to a close was fol
lowed this evening in the Y.M.CA
dining-room, when Warden W. H.
Kiddie, reeve of South Dorchester
Township, was the guest of honor at
a sumptuous repast tendered to him
and some 40 guests by the other mem
bers of the 1928 Elgin County Council It was one of the most brilliant func
tions of its kind held in recent years.
Brilliant in the fact that the flow of
oratory was considerably above the
average.
pie outstanding address was that
delivered by John Freeborn, ex-M.LA.
Mr. Freeborn's remarks apropos of the
'modern tendency to forget or to
neglect the primary duties of citizen
ship and to leave the home, formerly
the moral centre of the state. He
took issue with the satte in its present-
day attitude toward the training of
the rising generations. He said the
state requires a child to attend dav
school at least 30 hosts a week until
16 years of age, in order to be well
trained in secular matters, but the
state merely says that a boy or girl
mav attend church or Sunday school
one hour a week to receive moral and religous training. Mr. Freeborn con
tended that the state is shelving its
responsibility toward the people, it is
leaving too much in the matter of
moral training to the home and the
church.
Prominent among the other speakers
were:Blake Miller, M LA. for East
Elgin; M. F. Hepburn. M.P. for West
Elrin; S. S. Gutton. Vienna, oldest
living ex-warden, who announced that
it was just 45 years ago, this November
that he first entered the Elgin County
Council; J. J. Stalker, of Aidborough
Township; J. C. Dance, ex-M.L.A.,
Kingsville; J. F. Pinco, county good
roads superintendent, and Major Percy
Ermatinger, governor of the county
jail.
The handsome gold-headed cane giv
en to Warden Kiddie was presented
by Reeve Oscar McKenney, dean of the
Elgin County Qtuncil.
The Scotch nature of the gathering
was evidence in the music, furnished
by Pipers Harry McLean and William •
Turvie, in uniform. The 89-year-old
veteran, ex-Warden Gutton, was so
inspired by the skirl of the pipes that
he finished his address by reciting
Burns' famous lines to a haggis.

freight, combined with the regular
double daily service of the car ferry Ashtabula, passed through this port, in
train load* of some 28 cars to each
load, and that the entire rush had pass
ed through the terminal at 11 p.m.
Sunday.
Cwtax CwlkrtioM
A* a result of the trip* made by
these boat* the customs coUections
have increased, and a few note* on the
cuitoms collected here will be of inter
est to many. Custom* duties for this
out port from April 1st to and including
Nov. 30th. was $13338055. and of
course the duty collected on theWay's
cargo b not included, but runs into
four figure*. In that time the car
ferry Ashtabula ha* made 367 trip*,
and also over 3W0 cars of merchandise
ha* been carried for other ports where
the custom* are collectable at destina
tion, which give* thb port no credit
whatever. Thi* huge amount of freight
has passed through thb terminal and
over a single track line. In six year*
preceding hb retirement some year*
ago, our former customs officer col
lected the huge sum of one and a half
million* of dollars ($1,500,000) which
give* some idea of the importance of
thi* harbor from a business standpoint
to the Dominion Government a* a
source of revenue. These figure* will
also perhaps enlighten many a* to the
reason, for the large expenditure* made
here in recent year*. From an eco
nomic »tandpoint the»e expenditure*
are weB returned, and have been for
many years previous to the improve
ment program which wa* launched a
few year* ago. A* the ihipping season
ends for the Valley Camp Coal Co. on
December 7th, these trips are practi
cally fcl an end, but the expenement
has proven satisfactory in every way,
and a more regular service will likely
be established next year. The Ashta
bula will continue its regular -service as
long as the season remains favorable.

It was with ......news of the death of Mr. Otis Parry

failing health for some months during
last winter suffering from heart
trouble, but had been fairly well again
for some time until a few days before
hi* death, which occurred in the Sol
diers’ Memorial Hospital. Tillsonburg. Ti e funeral was held on Sunday, and
wa* very largely attended, the service
being held first at the hou»e and after
ward* proceeded to the church, which
wa* filled to capacity. Rev. S. Jeffer-
son conducted the service. The quar
tette. composed of Mr. C. H. Kipp. Mr.
S. Hustler. Mrs. C. S. Kipp and Mrs.
Spencer Williamson, sang very feel
ingly “Some Day Well Understand."
Mr. C. H Kipp taking the solo part very sweetly. The numerous beautiful
floral emblems testified to the esteem
in which the deceased wa* held. We
extend our heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved wife and family in their hour
of trouble. An unusual incident oc
curred in the choice of the pallbearers,
who were all named John, by special
request namely: John McDowell. John
Pettman. John Hyatt. Johff Ronson
and two John Dodgsons.
We are indeed sorry to know our
pastor is quite unwell. He said he felt h-
could not keep away from the funeral
service, but was very sick. We hope
he will be quite well again by Sunday.

The Marvel Violet Ray
What You Should Know About Violet Rays—
FIRST—That the so-called violet ray is really a high-
frequency generator. It is a well-known electrical
fact that the high-frequency instrument generates
ozone, and it is a well-known medical fact that ozone
is that element in the air which has a purifying effect
upon the blood. The odor of ozone is very noticeable
after the instrument has been in operation for two or
three minutes.
SECOND—That the high-frequency spark passing through
out the system causes a cellular massage, making every
cell vibrate as it should, thus stimulating all functional
activities of the body.
THIRD—The MARVEL Violet Ray high-frequency gen
erator has a germicidal effect in cases such as Eczema,
etc. When the electrode is applied to the body, the
spark tends to kill the germ, at the same time driving
ozone into the blood, locally, and has healing effect.
FOURTH—That the MARVEL Violet Ray instruments
represent, without question, the greatest value ever
offered. While moderate in price, the MARVEL in
struments are high in quality and embody many note
worthy features not found in other instruments.
Complete instructions for using are given in our booklet
which is furnished with every outfit.
Super-Marvel No. 3
Represents by far the greatest value ever offered in a violet
ray high-frequency instrument. It is finely built through
out. is equipped with seven feet of high-grade cord, and sep
arate plug as well as surface comb and throat electrodes,
and is packed in a beautiful silk lined carrying case.

receive* is that made by her people.
Despite the vast size of Canada—de
spite the many races which have come
to form her people—there i* a nation

one of English or of French. The early

“But thi* confidence is based on

Nowhere else has an equal number of

Windsor. Nov. 23.—Charles Millar
carried his grim irony further than
anyone knew. The joke that made hi*
will famous all over America has turn
ed out to be really two joke*. The
dian history, ha* been exposed.
When Mr. Millar died he left
every Christian minister in the Border
Citie* one share in the stock of Kenil
worth Jockey Club, Limited. He mutt
have known what a sensation it would
cause, and he doubtless, smiled a* he
penned this clause into hit last will and
testament. But he was not anticipat
ing only one joke. He had a second
one in mind as well.
The expose came yesterday in a
letter received by Frank W. Wilson.
K.C.. M.L.A., from the Toronto legal
firm of Millar & Hunter, the late bar
rister'* own firm. The stock, as a
revenue producing agent, is worth no
more than the paper on which it it
printed. That is the second, and the
grimmer of,the two joke*. The club

millions of youngsters happy at
Christmas time?
Prominent authorities such as Dr.
C D. Howe, Dean, Faculty of Forestry.
University of Toronto, in Canada and
G. Howard, Superintendent of State
Forests, New York State, in United
States say/No.' Dean Howe say* “an
area, of thirty square mile* if »et aside
and managed for Christmas tree pro
duction. uosild supply the present de
mand lor each year for all time."
The average size of the Christmas
tree marketed in the State* is six feet.
A spruce tree of thi* size can be grown
in the nursery inside of ten years and
in the forest in fifteen.Mr. Howard *ays, "Tree* are for use,
and there is no other use to which
they could be put that would con
tribute »o much joy to mankind m
their use by children on thi* great
holiday.’ He further state* “In our
state, a large proportion of Chriitma*
trees are cut from pasture lands,
where they are a nuisance, or from
other lands which the owner desire*
to clear for farm purposes, so that the
tree* would be cut in any event and
the marketing of them for Christmas
give* the owner some return for hi*
labor."In Europe where Foreitry practice
ha* reached it* highest! development.
Christma* trees are thing* which
are culled out of the forest, which
practice actually improves the forest.
Hence there is scarcely a hut dweller
uho ha* not his Christmas tree.
In Canada, the Canadian Forestry
Association wold advocate that in con
nection with forest plantation*, there
should be planted some spruce and
balsam for Christmas tree*. When
then they reach the proper site the
| owner can cut them out and market
1 them and still le-ive the timber tree to
| mature for a timber crop. Thi* source
of supply would probably be sufficient
to supply the home demand. For
export trade plantatins of spruce and
Balsam should prove a profitable busi
ness. Two thousand Christmas tree*
could be grown on one acre. Thus, on
a ten year rotation, ten
would supply VA million
time, at a planting cost
one cent per tree. Here
tunity for enterprising
townships, or individuals
some abandoned farms to good pur
pose. This year in New Bruswick
alone there is a demand for three
million Christmas tree*.
Foe the present, however, certain
ruel* of conduct should be observed.
To cut the top off a perfectly good
timber tree and leave the body to rot
in the bush is a criminal waste and un
worthy of a self respecting citizen. To
take a Christmas tree from private
property is plain theft and a question
of public morals that should not be tol
erated by any community. Why not
rather select your tree from pasture
land or if selecting in the bush choose
cedar or balsam which are prolific re
producers the utilization of which
would do little harm.

the land on which the Kenilworth track

A considerable revenue wa* prophesi
ed in the way of dividend* and the
question on everyone’s lips was “What
will the ministers do with the money
they receive from the stock!"
The wildest speculation came in the
churches, in fact, two or three serm
on* were preached on the subject.
There were clergymen who declared
publicly that they would pot accept
this "tainted money." Others protested
that no money was tainted and that
they would accept the stock and use
the revenue to further the work of
their churches.
In one case a church almost split
over the matter. One minister told
his congregation in a sermon that he
would accept the money to be earned
by the stock, and would turn it over
annually to the church. Hi* trustees
immediately held a meeting, and de
clared thev would accept no part of it.
The cler^-man said, in that event, he
would make his payment* to a worthy
charitable organization.
Another clergyman who was in the
Border Gties at the time of Mr. Mil
lar’s death, but lias since left, returned
here to put in his claim for the stock.

author and publicist*, speaking on
“Scientific Distribution," said there

buting these was by pres* advertising,
properly done. The dealer would al
ways stock an article which wa* nat
ionally advertised in the daily pres*,
because they knew that they were get-
the article mu*l be good or it would
not be advertised at all. and, seconddly.
that th« public would respond to it
because thev know that they were get
